    New Burris LRF integrated scope

    I can't speak to the execution of the previous Eliminators (as I've never handled one) but the concept is definitely the way things are going. Most here are pumped on the Vortex Impact 4000 bringing a reasonably priced weapon-mounted LRF to the masses, this just integrates all that tech in the...

    Rifle Scopes Razor 1-10 vs ATACR 1-8, 1X Reticle Usability Without Illumination

    I've gotta say I'm curious why the requirement for a usable reticle at 1x without illum? I've been using a Razor 1-10 for years and really like it. The illum is super bright and it works great at 1x and the reticle is nice at 6-10x for holdovers at distance. I'll grant that I run a red dot at...

    Rifle Scopes 1x prism and magnifier

    I run LPVOs (and MPVOs) on my other carbines, this rifle isn't accurate enough to merit one, imo (it's basically an AK) as I'd have to also run an offset rds for night shooting. Hence wanting to stick to a 1x optic with a magnifier for occasional shots to 3-400 yds. I'll either grab the PA prism...

    Rifle Scopes 1x prism and magnifier

    Thanks. Curious to hear how you like it. I also found that the Eotech was much better behind the (6x) magnifier than the Aimpoint was. Maybe I just need to grab an EXPS 3-2 as I like the double dot for holdovers anyways...

    Rifle Scopes 1x prism and magnifier

    So apparently I have an astigatism, haha... I have red dots on almost all my rifles (as offsets on bolt and offsets or primaries on gas guns) and pistols and have no issues using them effectively although the dot isn't necessarily super crisp (this is with quality red dots, Aimpoint Micros...

    Hornadys new ELD VT

    Awesome, thanks. That will be crazy flat.

    Hornadys new ELD VT

    Any idea on a ballpark speed for the 100gr in an 18" 6.5 Creed (currently pushing 140 ELDMs at 2650)?

    Precision Rifle Gear Medium action mag pouch?

    Might fit in an HSGI taco? If not, might have to go with a pouch designed for LA mags.

    ARDs vs Sunguard vs Shemagh

    I've run into this a bunch over the years as one of my shooting spots faces to the West so you get a lot of sun in your face when shooting towards the end of the day. A long sunshade works better than an ARD and a shemagh or even just a tshirt covering your head and the ocular definitely helps...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Haha, that's fair. I meant handy for a precision rifle. With the folder it fits in a nice compact case. I also really like 16lbs rifles, it's enough weight to make them quite easy to shoot well, spot trace, etc.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Current 18" 6.5 Creed. Nice and handy, 16.5lbs with the bipod. 140s going 2650.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    What kinda speeds are guys getting out of 18" 6.5 PRCs with a 140 class bullet? Love my 18" 6.5 Creed and have a few lopads that get me 2650 with 140 ELDMs (42.5 N160 or 42.0 H4350) but also have a magnum bolt and am kinda curious how much more speed I could get out of the same length PRC.

    Anyword on a new Vortex Razor Bino with AB?

    Razor level binos with GB on board (and maybe an etched milling reticle) would make this guy one happy camper!

    I need a lightweight, compact 2-10....

    Little late to the party but have been running that PST g2 2-10 on an SPR-ish rifle for a few months now and quite like it. It's easier to get behind on 10x than my Razor 1-10 is and it has a better FOV. Glass looks as good on 10x as the Razor does as well. I think it's a great option for an SPR...

    Night Vision Vortex Impact 4000 Rifle/Rail mounted Range finder???

    I'd assume PRC like most consumer grade electro-optics these days. Would be happy for that not to be the case but I'd be quite surprised. There would have to be a vis laser to zero it but again, I'd be pretty surprised if there was also an IR laser.

    300 Norma Mag

    Ha, fair enough. So a bit less speed, I assume, than N570?
  17. D

    300 Norma Mag

    Have you tried N568? I get great results with N570 in mine but it would be nice to get similar performance and be able to run the powder through my auto-thrower and not have to use Lee scoops and the auto-trickler to finish up, haha. Those kernels are like tree trunks...

    Badger coaxial rangefinder mount 30mm

    Anyone? I know they stopped making them a few years ago but I don't want to have to get a new mount, haha.

    New optic for Spr 1-10 or 2-10

    These are wise words. The use case dictates the setup.

    New optic for Spr 1-10 or 2-10

    I've been using that same optic a lot recently (on an 18" .223 gas gun) and quite like it. I prefer it for longer range engagements than my 1-10 Razor G3. My only real quibble is I wish the turrets were locking (or locking elevation, capped windage).
